Re: Republicans to attack healthcare law funding

"Victorious at the polls, congressional Republicans asserted their newfound political strength on Thursday, vowing to seek a quick $100 billion in federal spending cuts and force repeated votes on repeal of President Barack Obama's prized health care overhaul."

So, the above will be the Republican's first order of business...

1- Help our struggling economy? No, attacking President Obama is much more important. So check

2- Help regenerate jobs while providing universal and affordable job training for millions of Americans? No, however President Obama must be taught a lesson. So check

- I see a theme here folks.-

3- Help small business owners stay in business while guiding them into hiring more employees again? No, yet it's our Godly mission as Republicans to punish President Obama. So check

4- Provide the millions of Americans and our guest with affordable health coverage? God no! These poor Americans must understand if you are not wealthy you do not deserve quality health coverage. And simply screw our guests yet when our Republican lawns need trimming, it's Paulo we will call. Repeal. So check

5- Deregulate everything President Obama helped regulate so far? Yes that is a double check. Large businesses including those in energy and finance do not need regulations; they simply need a harsh talking too....

So, the first order of business in the house is to clearly punish President Obama. I cannot see how anyone with common sense cannot see this also. This will be a horrible situation for a president who is trying. Now he has to combat against very rich and angry Republicans who's agenda was not meant to help this struggling nation as a whole, rather to play parisian politics and bring America back to the socially, racially, politically, and economically divided country we were and always have been it seems. At least President Obama got folks to see we can be equals one day.

Thank you Tbone.

So no one contradicted the above? Because you all know the Republicans agenda is solely based on making the President look bad and ineffective. How can Americans put people in office with the sole intention to make America a worst off country?

When you publicly and privately state you will undo everything President Obama has done and will do, you are clearly hurting this country. No if's or butt's about it. But this is OK and that's the scary part.

Instead of the Republicans coming out during elections and stating to the American people, we will work with our President to make this country a better place, rather all I read and heard was attacks in not making America a better place. I saw Republicans not putting blame on his / her self and party, rather passing the buck on the White House.

If any answering my posts can't back up their assertions with facts, everyone should know that and assign credibility as such. that's all I'm saying.

Re: Republicans to attack healthcare law funding

Maybe I missed where you posted them, be a kind fella and point me to the statistics you posted I missed, won't you? Or better yet prove what I posted is wrong or inaccurate. That's real debate.

Perhaps you should take up reading comprehension. Your argument was that the data was wrong because it came from a source you dislike. That does not logically prove it is wrong. Proving such data is wrong requires proving the methodology is wrong. You have failed to do this entirely.
